NOTE. 


HE  accompanying  pages  form  the  fourth  part  of  a series  of 


papers  on  French  Cathedrals”  which  the  author  is  contrib- 
uting to  the  Architectural  Record  of  New  York.  The  part  which  is 
here  reprinted  consists  of  a chronological  summary  of  the  history  of 
all  the  cathedral  churches  of  France.  So  far  as  the  author  is  aware, 
this  is  the  first  attempt  to  bring  together,  in  one  general  view,  all 
these  churches,  whether  they  are  now  cathedral,  were  so  in  past 
times,  or  were  temporarily  used  as  such.  The  utmost  pains  has 
been  taken  to  make  the  list  as  full  and  as  accurate  as  possible,  and 
every  available  authority  has  been  consulted  for  the  dates  given. 
The  tables  would  doubtless  have  gained  much  had  less  condensa- 
tion been  used,  but  appearing  in  the  pages  of  a Magazine  it  was 
necessary  to  restrict  the  tabular  matter  to  the  briefest  enumeration. 

In  preparing  these  tables  it  should,  perhaps,  be  added,  that  all 
reference  to  the  dates  of  glass  and  of  tombs  or  of  other  monuments 
have  been  omitted  from  specific  reference.  Both  these  furnish  most 
valuable  data  for  chronological  purposes,  but  reference  to  them  in 
the  tables  would  have  required  more  room  than  could  have  been 
given  to  the  subject.  Dates  of  furniture,  as  choir  screens,  choir 
wood  work  and  the  like,  have  been  omitted  for  the  same  reason. 

The  present  pamphlet  has  been  reprinted  in  separate  form  for 
distribution  among  archaeologists,  with  the  hope  that  those  familiar 
with  the  histories  of  the  cathedrals  will  correct  any  errors  in  the 
tables  or  refer  the  author  to  such  works  as  will  enable  him  to  modify 
it  wherever  necessary.  The  author  trusts  most  earnestly,  therefore 
that  those  to  whom  this  pamphlet  is  sent,  and  those  into  whose  hands 
it  may  fall  will  render  him  every  assistance  in  his  effort  to  prepare  an 
entirely  trustworthy  chronology  of  the  cathedrals  of  France.

THE  CHRONOLOGY 


OF  THE 

CATHEDRAL  CHURCHES 

OF  FRANCE 


f'Y  N the  accompanying  tables 
an  attempt  has  been  made 
1 to  arrange  in  a condensed 
form  a chronological  his- 
tory of  all  the  cathedral 
churches  of  France.  It 
not  only  undertakes  to  tell 
what  part  of  each  edifice 
was  built  in  each  cen- 
tury, but  it  also  shows  the  more  import- 
ant structural  events  connected  with 
each  building.  It  thus  includes  a 
record  of  parts  that  no  longer  exist, 
but  which  form  an  integral  and  invalu- 
able portion  of  the  life  history  of  every 
church.  The  record  begins  with  the 
eleventh  century,  save  in  the  case  of 
such  cathedrals  as  were  built  prior  to 
that  time  and  which  have  survived  to 
the  present  day.  These  buildings  are 
few  in  number.  The  ravages  of  the 
barbarians,  the  Huns  pressing  in  from 
the  East,  the  Normans  coming  down 
from  the  North,  and  the  Saracens  from 
the  South  combined,  with  the  insuffi- 
cient methods  ot  construction,  to  re- 
move almost  every  church  and  every 
edifice  of  any  sort  well  before  the  tenth 
century.  The  early  histories  of  the 


cathedrals  are  filled  with  legends  of 
buildings  and  rebuildings,  epochs  of 
decay  and  of  destruction,  often  many 
times  repeated,  but  of  these  almost 
legendary  structures  scarce  anything 
has  survived.  And  so,  because  the 
records  of  these  early  buildings  are  in- 
complete, because  the  facts  in  them- 
selves are  of  small  value  and  are  with- 
out any  bearing  on  the  present  edifices, 
all  reference  to  them  has  beep  omitted, 
save  where  actual  remains  have  sur- 
vived. As  the  eleventh  century  marks 
the  beginnings  of  the  building  era  that 
culminated  in  the  thirteenth,  and  as  the 
life  history  of  nearly  every  cathedral 
may  be  accurately  dated  from  that 
time  onward,  it  affords  a convenient 
and  decisive  epoch  from  which  to  be- 
gin our  histories. 

The  tables,  as  has  been  said,  com- 
prise a chronological  summary  of  all 
the  cathedral  churches  of  France.  It 
thus  includes  : 

(1) .  All  the  present  cathedrals  of 
France. 

(2) .  All  churches  which  have  had  the 
rank  of  cathedral  at  any  time  in  their 
history,  but  which  are  not  now  cathe- 


FRENCH  CA  THEDRALS. 


6 


drals  in  the  proper  ecclesiastical  sense 
of  the  word. 

(3) .  All  churches  once  cathedral,  now 
destroyed  or  in  ruins,  but  including  only 
those  dating  from  the  eleventh  century 
or  later. 

(4) .  Temporary  cathedrals. 

(5) .  Churches  which  replaced  former 
cathedrals,  to  which  they  are,  in  a 
sense,  successors,  but  which  never  them- 
selves had  that  rank. 

It  needs  but  a glance  for  the  reader 
to  grasp  the  fact  that  the  number  of 
churches  given  in  these  pages  far  ex- 
ceeds the  number  of  cities,  and  is  thus 
greatly  in  excess  of  the  number  of  sees. 
These,  it  should  be  premised,  are  based 
upon  the  exhaustive  Series  Episcopo  uni 
of  Gams.*  This  list  includes  all  the 
episcopal  sees  actually  established  in 
France,  but  it  does  not  include  the 
bishopric  of  Bourg,  which  existed  for  a 
few  years  only,  and  which  has  been  in- 
cluded in  the  tables.  On  the  other 
hand  no  notice  is  taken  of  many  primi- 
tive sees  existing  before  the  eleventh 
century  and  which  have  not  survived  to 
later  times.  Thus  the  primitive  see  of 
Noyon  is  not  mentioned,  though  it  is 
known  to  have  been  located  at  Ver- 
mand,  the  identity  of  which  is  some- 
times given  as  the  city  of  S.  Quentin, 
sometimes  as  a small  village  near  that 
city.  And  it  should  be  further  noted 
that  the  cathedrals  described  here  are 
those  of  France  proper  alone ; the 
cathedrals  of  Corsica  and  the  outlying 
possessions  of  France,  whose  bishops 
form  part  of  the  French  hierarchy,  are 
omitted.  Nor  is  any  mention  made  of 
the  bishopric  of  Bethlehem  (French 
Bethleem ),  that  most  singular  of  all 
episcopal  sees,  a bishop  without  land  or 
people  or  church,  that  found  refuge  in 
Clamecy,  a small  village  of  the  Niver- 
nais,  after  expulsion  from  the  Holy 
Land,  and  where  a whole  series  of 
bishops  succeeded  each  other  until  1778. 

The  large  number  of  edifices  listed 
as  cathedrals  arises  from  several  causes. 
In  many  cities  the  primitive  cathedral 
was  succeeded  by  a later  building  with  a 
different  name,  and  frequently  on  a dif- 
ferent site.  Even  where  these  build-

licce.  Ratisbon,  1873. 


ings  have  not  survived  to  the  eleventh 
century  their  names  have  been  included, 
because  this  change  of  name  and  of  lo- 
cation is  an  interesting  fact  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  later  building,  whose  his- 
tory, indeed,  would  be  incomplete  with- 
out some  reference  to  it.  A number  of 
cities  had,  further,  two  actual  cathedrals 
at  one  and  the  same  time,  or  rather  two 
cathedral  churches  each  with  the  rank 
of  cathedral,  each  having  its  own  body 
of  canons  and  its  individual  chapter, 
but  with  a single  bishop.  Such  was  the 
case  with  Besanpon,  Toulouse,  S.  Lizier, 
or,  to  call  it  by  its  ancient  Episcopal 
name,  Conserans,  and  Autun.  The 
cathedral  of  S.  Die  comprises  two 
churches,  S.  Die  and  Notre  Dame,  con- 
nected by  a cloister.  More  striking 
was  the  case  of  the  cities  of  Sisteron 
and  Forcalquier,  in  which  the  church 
of  the  latter  city  was  recognized  as  co- 
cathedral with  the  mother  cathedral  of 
Sisteron,  having,  in  1061,  been  given  a 
provost  and  chapter  of  its  own  by 
Bishop  Gerard  Caprerius  of  Sisteron. 
In  all  these  cities  one  church  finally 
became  sole  cathedral.  In  Besanpon 
the  cathedral  of  S.  Etienne  was  de- 
stroyed in  1674,  leaving  S.  Jean  sole 
cathedral ; in  S.  Lizier  the  cathedral  of 
S.  Marie  de  la  Sede  lost  its  rank  of 
cathedral  in  1667,  after  which  date  the 
church  of  S.  Lizier  became  sole  cathe- 
dral ; the  church  of  S.  Jacques  of  Toul- 
ouse is  not  mentioned  as  cathedral  in  a 
charter  of  Louis  VII. , and  the  suprem- 
acy of  the  cathedral  of  S.  Etienne  is 
therefore  dated  from  that  time ; in 
Autun,  S.  Nazaire  ceased  to  be  cathe- 
dral jointly  with  S.  Lazare  in  1770,  and 
eight  years  later  was  demolished,  save 
a single  chapel.  No  one  generally  ap- 
plicable reason  for  such  double  cathe- 
drals appears  to  be  known.  In  the  case 
of  S.  Lizier,  however,  M.  Jules  de  La- 
hondes  has  suggested,  and  with  much 
apparent  probability,  that  it  may  have 
had  its  origin  in  the  time  when  the  town 
was  divided  into  two  seigniorial  dis- 
tricts, in  one  of  which  the  bishop  was 
lord  un  ler  vassalage  to  the  Count  of 
Toulouse,  and  in  the  other  he  was  ab- 
solute lord  with  the  Count  of  Com- 
minges  as  his  vassal. 

A more  notable  cause  in  adding  to 
the  number  of  cathedrals  is  the  ruin

and  decay  produced  by  the  progress  of 
time.  While  only  those  cathedrals 
that,  in  rebuilding,  have  changed  their 
names  or  sites,  or  both,  are  separately 
chronicled  in  the  tables,  nearly  every 
cathedral  in  France  has  been  rebuilt 
several  times,  so  that  the  present  church 
is  in  many  instances  the  fourth  or  fifth. 
But  as  the  larger  part  of  this  rebuilding 
occurred  before  the  tenth  century,  for 
each  successive  inroad  of  each  bar- 
barian horde  was  marked  by  ruin  and 
desolation,  we  are  only  concerned  with 
later  changes.  A goodly  list  of  cities 
show  two  cathedrals  because  the  older 
had  fallen  into  ruins.  Thus  the  abbey 
church  of  S.  Caprais  became  cathedral 
of  Agen  in  place  of  S.  Etienne,  de- 
stroyed in  the  Revolution.  The  cathe- 
dral of  Notre  Dame  of  Alet  was 
abandoned  after  Protestant  injuries  in 
the  sixteenth  century,  and  the  refect- 
ory of  the  abbey  of  S.  Benoit  became 
the  cathedral  in  its  place.  The  cities 
of  Arras  and  of  Cambrai  both  lost  their 
mediaeval  cathedrals  in  the  Revolution, 
and  when  the  sees  were  re-established 
with  the  Concordat  other  churches  were 
taken  for  this  purpose.  Three  cathe- 
drals at  three  different  epochs  suc- 
ceeded the  primitive  cathedral  of  Car- 
pentras,  each  rebuilding — an  unusual 
instance — being  accompanied  with  a 
change  of  name.  Huguenot  injuries, 
which  occasioned  much  injury  and  harm 
throughout  the  whole  of  France,  and 
was  the  immediate  cause  of  a vast 
amount  of  rebuilding  and  repair,  led  to 
the  abandonment  of  the  old  cathedral 
of  Notre  Dame  du  Bourg  in  Digne  in 
favor  of  the  church  of  S.  Jerome, 
though  the  older  cathedral  is  still  used 
on  certain  feast  days.  The  Revolution, 
which,  like  the  Protestant  injuries,  oc- 
casioned so  many  changes  in  the 
churches  of  France,  put  the  first  cathe- 
dral of  Dijon,  S.  Etienne,  to  the  use  of 
a storehouse,  after  which  it  was  not 
used  again  for  sacred  purposes,  the 
abbey  church  of  S.  Benigne  becoming 
cathedral  in  1801.  The  co-cathedral 
of  S.  Mary  of  Forcalquier  was  injured 
in  a siege  in  the  fifteenth  century,  and 
the  church  of  Notre  Dame  became 
cathedral  in  i486.  The  cathedral  of 
L’Assomption  of  Nice  might  be  brack- 
eted with  this,  having  been  destroyed 


in  1530,  when  the  citadel  of  the  city 
was  enlarged,  and  the  cathedral  of  S. 
Reparate  was  built  in  the  lower  town. 
The  cathedral  of  S.  Martin,  of  Montau- 
ban,  was  demolished  by  the  Hugue- 
nots in  the  sixteenth  century,  and 
after  using  the  church  of  S.  Jacques 
temporarily,  the  present  cathedral  of 
Notre  Dame  was  completed  in  1739. 
The  cathedrals  of  Rennes  and  of  Riez 
fell  several  times  into  decay  and  were 
as  often  rebuilt.  The  old  cathedral  of 
Pamiers  was  destroyed  in  the  fifteenth 
century,  as  was  also  the  later  cathedral 
of  S.  Antonin,  which  was  rebuilt  in  the 
seventeenth  centur}^. 

Several  new  cathedrals  were  built  or 
made — a somewhat  awkward  expression 
that  may  be  used  to  designate  churches 
not  originally  built  as  cathedrals,  but 
afterwards  given  this  rank — because 
the  locality  of  the  first  cathedral  was 
deserted  by  the  inhabitants  for  a more 
desirable  quarter.  The  older  part  of 
the  city  of  Aix,  called  the  Villes  des 
Tours,  had  fallen  into  such  a state  of 
decay  from  the  Saracen  invasions  that 
in  the  eleventh  century  the  cathedral  of 
Notre  Dame  de  la  Sede  ceased  to  bes 
cathedral,  and  the  episcopal  -chair  was 
transferred  to  the  church  of  La  'Trans- 
figuration du  Sauveur,  popularly  called 
S.  Sauveur.  Similarly  with  Carcassone, 
where  the  lower  city  began  to  be  settled 
about  the  middle  of  the  thirteenth  cen- 
tury, and  grew  so  rapidly  that  when 
the  Concordat  w7as  made  in  the  present 
century  the  church  of  S.  Michel  in  the 
Ville  Basse  was  made  cathedral  in  pla<*e 
of  the  ancient  cathedral  of  *S.  Nazaire 
in  the  Cite. 

Closely  allied  to  these  are  sees  and 
churches  transferred  from  one  city  to 
another  through  the  decay  of  the 
earlier  one.  Thus  the  city  of  Glandeves 
was  abandoned  for  the  neighboring 
town  of  Entrevaux,  in  the  fourteenth 
century,  where  the  canons  first  estab- 
lished themselves  in  the  church  of  S. 
Martin,  abandoning  this,  in  its  turn,  for 
the  new  cathedral  of  L’Assomption, 
begun  in  1610.  In  a similar  manner  the 
city  of  S.  Lizier  finally  absorbed  the 
city  of  Conserans,  but  the  two  churches 
of  S.  Lizier  and  of  S.  Marie  de  la  Sede 
were  joint  cathedrals  until  1667.  These 
instances  are  rather  examples  of  the

transformation  or  growth  of  a city  than 
deliberate  transference  of  the  episcopal 
see,  as  happened  when  the  see  of 
Eauze  was  transferred  to  Auch  in  the 
seventh  century;  as  happened  again 
when  the  see  of  Aleth  was  transferred 
to  S.  Malo  in  1163,  when  the  see  of 
Antibes  was  transferred  to  Grasse  in 
1244;  that  of  Maguelone  to  Mont- 
pellier in  1527;  that  of  Elne  to  Perpig- 
nan in  1662;  that  of  Maillezais  to  La 
Rochelle  in  1648.  The  see  of  Bou- 
logne-sur-Mer  succeeded  the  see  of 
Therouanne  in  1556,  after  the  total  de- 
struction of  the  former  city  by  Charles 
V.  in  1553.  The  see  of  Toul  was  united 
to  that  of  Nancy  in  1801,  and  the  bishop 
of  that  city  is  now  styled  the  bishop  of 
Nancy  and  Toul.  All  these  changes 
were  due  to  the  increased  importance 
of  the  latter  cities  in  later  times. 

While  all  the  cathedrals  show  periods 
of  rebuilding  and  of  destruction  of 
former  edifices,  the  older  cathedral  has, 
in  a few  instances,  remained  until  the 
present  time.  Thus  the  famous  ancient 
church,  known  as  the  Basse  CEuvre  of 
Beauvais,  ceased  to  be  the  cathedral  of 
that  city  in  the  thirteenth  century.  The 
church  of  S.  Etienne,  destroyed  in  the 
Revolution,  was  the  cathedral  of  Lyons 
until  the  thirteenth  century,  though 
the  present  cathedral  of  S.  Jean,  origin- 
ally the  baptistery  of  S.  Etienne,  was 
begun  in  the  twelfth.  The  religious 
enthusiasm  of  the  present  century  has 
given  a new  cathedral  to  Marseilles  in 
place  of  the  old  and  insignificant  cathe- 
dral of  La  Major.  In  Perigueux  the 
abbey  church  of  S.  Front  was  made 
cathedral  in  1669  in  place  of  S.  Eti- 
enne, which  is  still  standing.  The  need 
of  a new  and  larger  cathedral  for  the 
city  of  Grenoble  resulted  in  the  erec- 
tion of  the  cathedral  of  Notre  Dame  in 
the  eleventh  and  twelfth  centuries,  and 
which  was  structurally  connected  with 
the  older  cathedral  of  S.  Hugues,  a 
portion  of  which  still  remains. 

Another  series  of  churches,  whose 
histories  are  briefly  summarized  in  the 
following  pages,  are  those  which  suc- 
ceeded, on  the  same  site,  to  early  cathe- 
drals, though  never  themselves,  so  far 
as  the  existing  or  later  structure  is  con- 
cerned, having  had  episcopal  rank. 
These  include  the  church  of  S.  Acheul, 


in  Amiens,  which  succeeded  the  primi- 
tive cathedral  of  Notre  Dame  des  Mar- 
tyrs ; the  church  of  S.  Aphrodise  of 
Beziers,  cathedral  to  the  middle  of  the 
eighth  century;  the  modern  church  of 
S.  Vincent  at  Dax  occupies  the  site  of 
the  primitive  cathedral  of  that  city 
(cathedral  to  the  eleventh  century); 
the  church  of  S.  Etienne  at  Orleans,  de- 
stroyed in  1562,  was  a survival  of  the 
primitive  cathedral  (to  the  fourth 
century);  at  Reims  the  chapel  of  S. 
Pierre,  in  which  worship  was  discon- 
tinued in  1710  and  which  was  finally 
removed  in  the  present  century,  stood 
upon  the  site  of  the  primitive  cathedral 
(to  the  fourth  century);  in  Verdun  the 
primitive  cathedral  of  S.  Pierre  et  S. 
Paul,  cathedral  to  the  fifth  century,  was 
succeeded  by  the  abbey  of  S.  Vannes, 
whose  church  was  removed  as  recently 
as  1817. 

Pro-cathedrals,  or  churches  used  tem- 
porarily while  a new  cathedral  was  re- 
building, include  those  of  Arras,  Bourg, 
Marseilles,  La  Rochelle,  Le  Mans, 
Montauban  and  Rennes. 

II. 

Closely  connected  with  the  duplica- 
tion of  episcopal  churches  in  the  same 
city  is  the  question  of  name.  This,  as 
has  been  explained,  adds  considerably 
to  the  bulk  of  our  list.  Yet  the  ques- 
tions it  raises  are  more  interesting  than 
this.  There  is  comparatively  little 
variety  in  the  dedicatory  names  given 
to  the  cathedrals  of  France.  The 
greater  part  of  them  are  in  honor  of 
Notre  Dame,  anj  when  this  designation 
and  that  of  S.  Etienne  are  set  to  one 
side  there  are  relatively  few  other 
names  to  be  noted.  Differences  in 
name  does  not  imply  a difference  in 
cathedral,  for  in  many  instances  ‘the 
same  church  has  had  various  names  at 
various  times  in  its  history.  Thus  the 
cathedral  of  Amiens  was  first  called 
Notre  Dame  des  Martyrs.  This  was 
built  on  a different  site  from  the  present 
cathedral,  and  has  survived,  as  has 
been  said,  in  the  present  church  of  S. 
Acheul,  in  the  environs  of  Amiens. 
But  the  present  cathedral  was  first 
dedicated  to  S.  Pierre  et  S.  Paul;  in 
1159  it  was  dedicated  afresh  to  Notre

Dame  et  S.  Firmin;  and  again,  in  1483, 
to  Notre  Seigneur,  S.  Vierge  et  Tous 
les  Saints,  a fact  probably  forgotten  by 
most  of  those  who  know  it  exclusively 
as  Notre  Dame.  The  cathedral  of 
Seez  was  first  dedicated  to  Notre 
Dame.  In  the  sixth  century  it  was 
known  as  S.  Gervais  et  S.  Protais,  but 
in  1786  it  was  placed  under  the  patron- 
age of  Notre  Dame.  A more  striking 
instance  is  supplied  by  the  cathedral 
of  Valence,  primitively  dedicated  to  S. 
Apollinaire  et  S.  Cyprien;  a second 
cathedral  was  dedicated  by  Pope 
Urban  II.  in  1005  to  the  B.  V. 
Marie  et  S.  Corneille  et  S.  Cyprien, 
and  yet,  although  the  name  was 
excluded  from  this  dedication,  S. 
Apollinaire  has  always  been  recognized 
as  the  chief  patron  of  the  cathedral, 
which  is  now  known  solely  by  his  name. 
Less  complicated  instances  are  fur- 
nished by  the  cathedral  of  S.  Trophime 
at  Arles,  called  S.  Etienne  to  1152;  by 
the  cathedral  of  Notre  Dame  de  Grace 
of  Clermont-Ferrand,  primitively  called 
Notre  Dame  et  S.  Laurent;  by  the  cathe- 
dral of  S.  Julien  of  Le  Mans,  called 
Notre  Dame  et  S.  Pierre  to  the  ninth 
century,  then  S.  Gervais  et  S.  Protais, 
and,  in  1120,  B.  V.  Marie,  S.  Gervais  et 
S.  Protais  et  S.  Julien;  by  the  cathe- 
dral of  Notre  Dame  de  Pomeriis 
(French  des  Pommiers)  or  Notre  Dame 
hors-la-ville,  of  Sisteron,  called  Notre 
Dame  et  S.  Thyrse  to  1343;  and  by  the 
cathedral  of  S.  Gatien  of  Tours,  called 
S.  Maurice  to  the  fourteenth  century. 
In  some  of  these  instances,  notably  in 
the  case  of  Arles  and  of  Tours,  the 
change  in  name  was  brought  about  by 
the  increased  importance  given  to  the 
worship  of  the  saint  in  whose  honor  the 
later  dedication  was  made.  In  the  case 
of  the  cathedral  of  Sisteron  the  addi- 
tion of  S.  Thyrse  to  the  title  doubtless 
arose  from  the  fact  that  the  preceding 
cathedral  had  been  dedicated  solely  to 
this  saint,  and  it  was  probably  found 
convenient  to  drop  the  name  at  a later 
time.  Although  the  cathedral  of 
Besanqon  is  now  called  only  the  cathe- 
dral of  S.  Jean  l’Evang^liste,  the 
proper  title  is  S.  Jean  l’Evangeliste  et 
S.  Etienne,  the  title  of  the  sister  cathe- 
dral having  been  merged  with  that  of 
the  survivor 


And,  indeed,  we  frequently  find  in- 
stances where  the  popularity  of  one 
saint  has  so  overshadowed  that  of  the 
other  or  others  to  which  it  has  been 
dedicated  that  even  the  name  of 
Notre  Dame  has  been  allowed  to  dis- 
appear. The  cathedral  of  S.  Flour  is 
an  interesting  illustration.  Though 
now  known  wholly  as  the  cathedral 
of  S.  Pdour  in  the  city  of  that  name, 
it  was  dedicated  in  1466,  as  an  inscrip- 
tion on  the  fapade  tells  us,  “ to  the 
Honor  of  God,  of  S.  Peter,  Apostle,  and 
of  S.  Flour,  Confessor.”  The  cathedral 
of  S.  Die,  once  called  S.  Maurice  et 
Notre  Dame,  was  dedicated  to  S.  Die 
in  1051.  Originally  it  is  said  to  have 
been  dedicated  to  SS.  Maurice,  Exu- 
pere,  Candide  et  Leurs  Compagnons. 
The  adjoining  church  of  Notire  Notre 
Dame,  connected  with  the  cathedral  of 
S.  Die  by  a common  cloister,  was,  in  the 
seventh  century,  dedicated  “ en  l’hon- 
neur  de  la  Mere  de  Dieu,  des  Apotres 
Pierre  et  Paul  et  de  leurs  compagnons, 
des  SS.  Euchaire,  Materne,  Maximin 
et  de  tous  leurs  compagnons.” 

The  influence  of  popular  will  in  affect- 
ing the  change  of  name  has  no  more 
singular  illustration  than  is  supplied  by 
the  co-cathedral  of  Forcalquier.  The 
first  co-cathedral  of  that  city  was  called 
S.  Mary,  though  it  had  been  primi- 
tively called  Notre  Dame.  When  the 
church  of  Notre  Dame  was  made  co- 
cathedral in  i486  it  was  popularly 
called  Notre  Dame  du  Marche,  or 
Notre  Dame  du  Puits.  But  after  as- 
suming its  new  rank  the  people  in- 
sisted upon  calling  it  S.  Mary,  while 
the  former  co-cathedral  of  S.  Mary 
was  then  called  Notre  Dame,  both 
churches  exchanging  titles  in  obedience 
to  popular  caprice.  Another  interest- 
ing example  is  the  cathedral  of  La 
Major  of  Marseilles.  The  first  title 
of  this  church  is  said  to  have  been  S. 
Lazare.  But  S.  Lazarus  was  the  first 
bishop  of  Marseilles,  at  least  so  tradi- 
tion says.  This  at  once  brings  us  up 
before  two  contradictory  facts,  of  which 
only  one  can  be  true.  If  S.  Lazarus 
was  the  first  bishop  of  Marseilles,  he 
could  not  have  dedicated  a church  to 
himself  ; though  an  oratory  or  chapel, 
in  those  distant  times,  might  readily 
have  been  known  as  S.  Lazarus’s  with- 


10

out  having  been  dedicated  to  him.  But 
certainly  no  chapel  or  cathedral  could 
have  been  used  by  S.  Lazarus  himself 
that  bore  his  own  name.  The  dedica- 
tion of  L’Assomption,  said  to  have 
been  given  to  the  cathedral  later,  seems 
much  more  likely  to  have  been  the 
first  name. 

As  for  the  name  of  La  Major  it  was 
doubtless  a survival  of  the  Latin 
Ecclesia  major , with  which  words  the 
church  was  often  described.  The  pres- 
ent cathedral  of  Lyons,  S.  Jean,  was 
originally  the  baptistery  of  the  older 
cathedral  of  S.  Etienne,  and  with  which 
it  was  connected  by  a common  cloister, 
which  joined  the  adjacent  church  of 
S.  Croix,  making  a group  of  three. 
In  the  middle  ages,  even  after  the 
thirteenth  century,  the  church  of  S.  Jean 
was  always  spoken  of  and  referred  to 
as  the  major  ecclesia  Lugdunensis , “ the 
great  church  of  Lyons.”  These  words 
were  never  applied  to  the  church  of 
S.  Etienne  even  when  it  was  cathedral, 
but  were  only  used  to  describe  the 
church  of  S.  Jean,  which  before  it 
became  the  cathedral  in  the  thirteenth 
century  was  the  largest  church  of 
the  city.

No  room  can  be  given  in  this  sum- 
mary to  debatable  questions,  whose 
number  is  almost  without  end.  The 
limits  of  space  forbid  the  consideration 
of  any  of  these  points  until  we  can  take 
up  the  individual  histories  of  the  cathe- 
drals. In  instances  of  doubt  the  most 
probable  date  has  been  chosen  and 
no  regard  given  to  problematical  con- 
siderations. The  tables  are  intended 
only  as  a brief  general  record.  De- 
tailed chronological  tables  of  the  cathe- 
drals of  Reims  or  of  Chartres  or  of 
Paris  and  of  many  other  great  churches 
would  comprise  several  printed  pages 
each,  were  every  item  included.  Noth- 
ing of  this  sort  has  been  attempted  in 
the  following  pages,  where  the  utmost 
condensation  has  been  employed.  I he 
exigencies  of  a magazine  will  not  per- 
mit the  discussion  of  authorities  or  the 
giving  of  references,  and  the  works  con- 
sulted in  the  preparation  of  these 
tables  are  therefore  grouped  together 
in  a general  list. 


In  order  that  the  purpose  of  the 
Chronological  Table  may  be  made  per- 
fectly clear  let  us  briefly  run  through 
the  history  of  one  cathedral  as  illus- 
trated in  it,  and  which  may  be  taken  as 
an  index  of  the  entire  list.  Under 
Reims  wo  find,  first,  S.  Pierre,  the  primi- 
tive cathedral,  whose  date  is  so  remote 
as  to  be  impossible  of  authentication. 
Absolutely  nothing  is  known  of  this 
church,  or  oratory,  as  it  probably  was. 
A church  that  is  said  to  have  been  built 
on  its  site  was  used  for  worship  up  to 
1710.  Later  it  fell  into  ruin,  and  was 
finally  removed  in  1793. 

Next  is  the  church  of  the  Saints 
Apotres,  cathedral  from  314  to  401;  at 
least,  such  are  the  dates  claimed  for 
it.  This  was  succeeded  by  the  colle- 
giate church  of  S.  Symphorien,  of  whose 
architectural  history  nothing  is  known. 
It  existed  in  1793  but  no  vestige  of  it 
remains  to-day. 

Of  the  present  cathedral  of  Notre 
Dame  our  record  begins  with  a rebuild- 
ing in  the  ninth  century.  In  1211  it 
was  burned,  and  the  next  year  the 
present  edifice  was  begun.  It  was  con- 
secrated in  1242  and  the  building 
almost  completed  in  the  thirteenth 
century.  In  the  fourteenth  century 
the  first  three  bays  of  the  nave  were 
added  and  by  1381  the  western  fapade 
was  completed  to  the  King’s  Gallery. 
The  nave  chapels  were  added  in  the 
fourteenth  century.  In  1428  the  west- 
ern towers  were  completed,  or  rather 
reached  their  present  height.  The 
cathedral  suffered  from  fire  in  1481, 
the  transept  tower  spires  and  the  balus- 
trade around  the  roof  being  destroyed. 
Sundry  repairs  were  forthwith  made. 
In  the  sixteenth  century  the  word 
“ Restorations”  suggests  the  Protest- 
ant injuries,  which  are  known  to  have 
affected  almost  all  the  churches  of 
France.  Internal  repairs  were  made 
between  1538  and  1574.  In  the  seven- 
teenth century  the  west  portal  and  rose 
window  were  repaired.  Between  1742 
and  1785  many  internal  changes  were 
made,  and  under  the  guise  of  restora- 
tion incalculable  harm  was  done  to  the 
beautiful  mediaeval  interior  and  its 
priceless  art.  In  the  present  century 
the  cathedral  has  been  completely 
restored  by  the  architects  Arveuf,

EXPLANATION  OF  THE  TABLES. 


Names  of  cities  are  printed  in  bold- 
faced type;  where  there  has  been  a 
change  of  name  the  earlier  name  of 
the  city  is  printed  in  similar  type  and 
inclosed  in  a parenthesis. 

The  dedicatory  title  of  the  cathedral 
follows  the  name  of  the  city.  Where 
there  have  been  several  titles  to  the 
same  church  they  are  sometimes  desig- 
nated in  chronological  order,  as  (i), 
(2),  (3).  The  French  form  of  the  names 
have  been  retained  throughout  as 
seeming  likely  to  be  of  more  value  to 
travelers  and  students  than  the  Angli- 
cized form.  Where  a popular  name 
of  a cathedral  differs  from  its  full 
title,  the  popular  name  is  printed 
first,  the  full  title  following  next  in 
parenthesis. 

The  figures  following  the  name  of 
the  cathedral,  if  within  the  parenthesis, 
indicate  that  that  name  was  used  until 
that  date,  when,  the  present  title  was 
substituted  for  it.  Figures  outside  a 
parenthesis  indicate  the  dates  at  which 
each  church  had  the  rank  of  cathedral. 
As  we  are  not  concerned  with  cathe- 
drals earlier  than  the  eleventh  century 
no  record  is  made  of  the  time  at  which 
sees  then  established  began.  Dates  of 
foundations  of  sees  are  only  given 
when  later  than  the  eleventh  century. 

In  a few  instances  where  construc- 
tions may  be  indifferently  referred  to 
two  successive  centuries  the  vertical 
lines  are  broken  and  the  portion  re- 
ferred to  printed  across  both  columns. 

Words  in  italic  indicate  that  only 
those  portions  of  the  cathedrals,  of  the 
work  done  in  the  century  in  which  they 
are  to  be  found,  have  survived  to  the 
present  time.  The  rebuildings  of  one 
century  frequently  destroyed  those  of  a 


preceding  century  while  still  leaving  a 
portion  of  the  earlier  work. 

Important  and  apparently  authentic 
dates  have  been  inserted  wherever 
possible,  but  these  dates  only  refer  to 
such  parts  as  are  named  before  the 
next  following  semi-colon  or  period. 
In  other  words,  if  a date  begins  a col- 
umn it  does  not  indicate  that  every- 
thing in  that  paragraph  was  done  or 
happened  at  that  time.  The  table  aims 
only  in  showing  the  work  accomplished 
in  each  century,  or  the  principle  events 
happening  in  it ; it  is,  therefore,  unsat- 
isfactory in  failing  to  distinguish  be- 
tween work  done  at  the  beginning  of  a 
century  and  that  done  at  the  end, 
which,  in  most  instances,  shows  great 
variety  and  difference. 

Injury,  desecration  and  ruin  were  so 
characteristic  of  the  Protestant  and 
Revolutionary  epochs  in  the  sixteenth 
and  the  eighteenth  centuries  that,  to 
avoid  overcrowding,  all  reference  to 
such  happenings  are  omitted  save  when 
a church  was  ruined  or  partly  destroyed. 
Careful  readers  of  the  tables  will  note 
that  the  words  “rebuilding”  or  “re- 
pairs ” in  the  sixteenth  century  usually 
indicates  a destruction  during  the  Pro- 
testant period.  To  complete  the  record 
“injury”  should  be  inserted  in  the  col- 
umns of  the  sixteenth  and  eighteenth 
centuries  in  nearly  every  instance. 

The  word  chapel  is  used  in  a general 
sense  as  applicable  to  any  structural 
chapel  (that  is,  not  simple  altars  or 
recesses  within  the  cathedral).  The 
words  Lady  Chapel  are  applied  to  the 
central  apse  chapel,  usually  dedicated 
to  Notre  Dame  and  usually  called  so  in 
France,  though  more  generally  known 
as  the  Lady  Chapel  in  England.

BIBLIOGRAPHY. 

The  following  list  includes  only  works  actually  consulted  in  preparing  the  forego- 
ing tables.  A few  important  titles  have  been  admitted  as  no  copies  are  known  in 
America.  It  is  not  a bibliography  of  French  architectural  history,  for  many  works 
on  this  subject  do  not  touch  specifically  upon  the  histories  of  the  cathedrals. 
Neither  is  it  a complete  bibliography  of  the  literature  of  the  cathedrals.  This  liter- 
ature is  exceedingly  rich,  though  the  complete  history  of  many  of  the  cathedrals  has 
yet  to  be  written,  and  books  referring  to  many  others  are  wholly  inadequate.  Much 
of  this  material  is  to  be  found  only  in  the  publications  of  the  French  archaeological 
societies,  and  is  not  referred  to  specifically,  such  publications  being  only  mentioned 
by  the  serial  title.  It  should  be  remembered,  also,  that  the  books  in  this  list  are  of 
very  unequal  value,  some  of  the  most  insignificant,  however,  being  the  only  works 
on  their  particular  subject,  could  not  well  be  omitted. 

Books  containing  references  to  more  than  one  cathedral  are  placed  in  the  general 
list.  Special  books  on  special  churches  are  named  separately.  This  division  is 
made  for  economy  of  space  alone,  and  without  regard  to  the  importance  of  the  pub- 
lication, for  in  a number  of  instances  the  more  valuable  book  is  a general  one,  not 
named  under  the  town  itself. 

General  histories  of  art,  books  without  text  and  monographs  on  glass  are  omitted 
altogether. 

Special  thanks  are  due  for  much  valuable  information  to  many  correspondents  in 
France,  both  for  information  used  in  the  following  pages  and  for  assistance  in  des- 
ignating authorities.  Among  these  I would  return  grateful  thanks  to  Mgr.  the 
Archbishop  of  Chambery  ; Mgr.  the  Bishop  of  Marseilles  ; Mgr.  the  Bishop  of  Car- 
cassonne; M.  Jules  de  Lahondes,  President  Societe  Archeologique  du  Midi  de  la 
France,  Toulouse;  M.  L.  de  Berluc-Perussis,  past  President  Academie  des  Sciences 
et  Belles-Lettres  d’Aix  ; the  Canon  Albert  Brunet,  Chancellor  of  the  Diocese  of

GENERAL. 

I. 

ENGLISH. 

Works  in  English  on  the  cathedrals  of  France  are  wholly  inadequate.  Most  of 
them  were  published  in  the  early  part  of  the  century  and  are  without  the  value  of 
the  broader  archaeological  scholarship  of  more  recent  times.  There  are  no  general 
or  special  works  of  any  value,  in  English,  relating  to  the  cathedrals.

The  best  and  most  accessible  account  of  the  cathedrals  of  France  will  be  found

and  revised  edition.  Better  known  as  the  Collection  des  Guides-foanne.  The 
histories  are  generally  full  and  complete,  though  not  devoid  of  minor  errors,  and 
sometimes  insufficient  for  the  lesser  cathedrals.
